NECRO FILES 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY


THE NECRO FILES (1997) is probably my most (in)famous film, having won "Horror Film of the Year" at the 1998 Miami Horror Film Festival. It's been praised as "a work of pure genius" by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma. Hell, it's been called a lot of things, not all of them fit for print! This was really the film that started the underground, shot on video gore movement in the late 1990s. For those of you unfamiliar with it, a cannibal killer rises from the grave as a flesh-eating zombie sex maniac and proceeds to chow down on naked ladies in the streets of Seattle...

"[THE NECRO FILES is] the craziest movie I've ever seen!"
---CHRIS FARLEY, star of TOMMYBOY and BEVERLY HILLS NINJA
(he attended the 1997 Hollywood premiere just two months before his death!)

This Saturday, April 8th, 2006, marks the 10 Year Anniversary of the first day of shooting, way back in 1996 when I was just a young punk with a dollar and a dream to make the wildest zombie movie ever.

There has been some talk of putting together a 10 Year Anniversary Edition of THE NECRO FILES on DVD, possibly with a new beginning and ending and some souped-up CGI effects. If George Lucas and Steven Spielberg can get away with it, I figure why not me, too? Stay tuned, true believers, for further developments on this project!
